long as possible. Policy researchers provide crucial information and tools applicable to practitioners in the field<br />
Join our esteemed panel of presenters representing the planning, aging network and policy research disciplines for an<br />
interactive and information rich summit.<br />
Explore the latest planning tools including AARP’s Livability Index and Future of Housing Toolkit. Learn about<br />
planning best practices from the field from speakers representing regional, county, city and urban/suburban<br />
communities. Engage with colleagues across disciplines in facilitated break-out groups to identify how to better<br />
collaborate to develop and implement policies and plans that advance livable communities for all people, regardless<br />
of their age or ability.<br />
